I was 12 years old. My parents wouldn’t let me by this tape. So my friends and I went to the public library. You could check out the record. Just 3 12 year olds sitting in the back of the young adult section with three sets of headphones hooked up to one record player. Rocking out as quietly as possible. The 80s rocked.
What a great story, nothing beats you & friends havin a great time. I tell my son to enjoy his childhood cause 1 day your our age, lol. Thanks for sharing Tom and enjoy the day.
You poor guy my parents literally didnt even know where i was at that age. They were to busy working and let the world raise us. And yes the 80's were fun lolol
When I was in high school, one of the New York radio stations was having a school spirit contest. Whichever school submitted the most signatures would win a concert by Motley Crue. I remember signing my name at least 500 times. Anyway, we won but our principal wouldn't allow them to come to our school. In order to see them, we had to go into NYC, manhattan. So my mother decided to rent a limo and took me, my brother, and two of my friends into the city and it was such a good time. It was a small venue and my ears rang for 3 days after, but what a show. Three of my friends made it onto the stage as well. Was so grateful for that, will never forget that great memory.
Super underrated?? Whaaaaah 😜....dude, in the 80s and 90s Mars was considered to one of THE TOP 10 guitarists ever 👍in music back in those days. He was up there with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Santana, allll those greats....he's still a legend 👏 👍
Yep. I live in Fort Lauderdale and they played this song so many times at the Doll House when I was a young immature carefree adult. Every weekend they got a portion of my paycheck. 😂
@@onionhead5780 Ah, I'd love to go back and be that immature young carefree adult. I'm now retired and more or less carefree but hanging out in strip clubs is a non-starter now.
Leave it to Motley to do a song about their favorite strip clubs. If you watch any of the episodes of "Behind the Music" or other documentaries covering the hair bands from the Sunset Strip in L.A., you'll find almost all of them talk about how they owe their survival to the local strippers. The dancers all had money, and the bands were all broke, so the girls provided them with food and often helped out with rent and other bills on top of it.
True, Chris . You don't need an interpreter to realize it's a tune like Cat Scratch Fever , that they really should do. I've been waiting on that one ,J & Amber. That's what Ted opened Cal Jam 78 with..
The girls who dressed like this and danced in these old videos were called "video vixens." They made a TON of money, especially in 80s music videos for hair bands - Whitesnake (Tawny Kitaen RIP :( ), Bobbie Brown (Warrant), Sharise Neil, who was in this Motley Crue video and married to lead singer Vince Neil, and even Alisha Silverstone (Aerosmith). When rock became out of fashion, the video vixens switched to hip hop videos.
I had this album on cassette back in the day. One thing I always liked about this song is how Mick Mars makes the guitar sound like a motorcycle engine. It was so badass back then.
Mick Mars is a guitar wizard… not the “genius master of all guitars in the world” but he’s definitely up there with Van Halen, I’d say: Van Halen makes a guitar sing, and Mick makes it sound like motorcycles… my favorite guitarist, for sure
One by one, Amber is listening to all the songs she missed from the early days the RSR channel when it was just Jay. (Psssst... she hasn't heard "Too Much Heaven" by the Bee Gees, or "Creep" by Radiohead). And yes, Jay, this was your introduction to the Crue. You did it just two weeks into the channel (April 13, 2021)!
Great... another reaction to another useless, redundant 80's hair band. Probably requested by subscribers to this channel that started listening to music AFTER 1980. I feel sorry for them.
This song was THE theme song at all topless clubs nationwide. It was played loud right at shift change so all girls from both shifts were all up on tables at one time.
OMG, Motley Crue was at the height of their debauchery when this album, came in 87: it was on this tour that bassist Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin, the paramedics pulled the sheet over his head, but then one of them made one last attempt to revive him with two cardiac needles of adrenaline into his heart! The release party for this album was held at The Body Shop on The Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Initially MTV only allowed this video to be played after 8pm before eventually making it the first video to be banned fro, the network.
Ever since the movie Hot tub Time machine, I have absolutely loved that song! I mean I've always liked it but that movie made Me Love It! Hey Jay and amber, Hot tub Time machine, movie reaction request there you go! React to the song home sweet home first though!
This was my first concert. I had just turned 14 and my brother bought tickets for me and my best friend (John) as a birthday present. Guns N' Roses opened for them. It was awesome.
Thee Dollhouse IV (yes, with two e’s; that’s not a typo) near (not actually in) Fort Lauderdale, the Tattletale Lounge in Atlanta, the Seventh Veil in Hollywood, Crazy Horse in Paris, the Body Shop in West Hollywood, the Marble Arch in Vancouver, and the Hollywood Tropicana in Los Angeles are or were (some are still open, others long closed) all real strip clubs where the band went. The Hollywood Tropicana is where Vince Neil met his later wife (now ex-wife) Sharise Ruddell, who was working there as a ring girl and mud wrestler.
I barely remember my times in the Marble Arch for obvious reasons. Sadly it's gone now but has been replaced by The Granville Strip. The sign from the front is hanging inside the club
Yes- finally- I too had noticed a little while back that Amber hadn’t seen this one. I was re-watching some older videos and was like 😲..especially with it being a massive, staple hit of theirs! 🔥🙂✨
Mötley Crüe were in their prime here. To see them live during this decade was a phenomenal experience. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Excellent choice! I knew Amber was gonna love it. 🤘
Funny Story. I was up late on the night this film clip aired on MYV. My dad got up (he was in bed for work the next day) and came in the room while I was watching. He stayed until it finished, and commented as he left the room '' He's a good guitarist'' :D He said nothing about the tits :D
Mick Marrs, the strings, and the sound, of the band, on 🎸🎸 🤘😝🤟!!! Tommy Lee, the thunder, on drums ⛈️💥 ⛈️!!! Nikki Sixx, the smashing, funk on bass!!! And Vince "F*cking Neil on Vocals!!! All this and you get the perfect representation of the'80s Metal Sound!!!
Amber and Jordan, you make a good day better. You make a sad day a happier. You are my favorite UA-camrs. That's why I always say. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
In my neighborhood in Cali, everyone got a pentagram motley crue Tattoo. We all loved motley. Their will never be a band like motley again. The 80s ruled!! Also, Amber really is so fun the way she rocks out and Rob's entusiasmo is so refreshing. THE ROB SQUAD FAMILY is fun too!!!
I'm 59 and still love hair metal, I graduated high school in 1981. My first concert I ever went to was KISS in 1977 on Christmas day at what used to be the Summit here in Houston, where the Rockets used to play. I don't think there was a month that went by without going to a concert until 1989 when my son was born. Kids have a funny way of making you get your financial priorities in order quick! Out of all the concerts I went to I will cherish the last on I went to, which was Motley Crue on their ending tour in 2017, I took my son, and my grandson. It was freakin' awsome. My grandson still talks about it to this day! If you want to check out a modern version of hair metal, which I think is awesome, check out "Pop Evil, Boss' Daughter". Mick Mars, which is the guitarist in Motley Crue is featured in their video and had a creative hand in the sound for the song. Really love your channel guys. you always dig up some old songs that I have not thought about in decades! keep 'em comming! Much love and God bless! Mike
Mick's guitar playing the end, is just amazing!!! Next up ......... 'Same Ole Situation, Primal Scream, Don't Go Away (Just Go Away), Starry Eyes, Merry Go Round"!!!
At least y'all didn't choose the explicit version of the video. Several other reactors on UA-cam accidentally chose that version, and boy did they get an eyeful. Great song either way.
I saw this tour live in Tulsa, was close to the stage, it was loud and great. This was the one were Tommy played his drums at a 90-degree angle on the stage.
Jay my friend, not only Mötley Crüe, but none other than one Elvis Aaron Presley, did a song called "Girls! Girls! Girls!" Check that one out. I think you'll dig it!
This totally takes me back to my junior year in high school. September 16, 1987 Motley Crue played the second night of their Dallas, TX stop at Reunion Arena with Whitesnake opening the show, and that whole night was such a fun concert. At one point, the singer Vince Neil introduced Stephen Pearcy and Robin Crosby, the lead singer and co guitarist of RATT, on stage and they all played Rock n Roll by Led Zeppelin. As a 16 year old kid, I thought, this doesn’t get any better than this. I was also really impressed by MickMars’ guitar tone, the overall tone of his guitar was so ridiculously full, that there was really no need for a rhythm guitar player during a solo. And speaking as a guitarist myself, that’s typically unheard of. Such great times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I love checking out your channel. Y’all have a great new year!
Recommend Johnny Winter. Texas lightning blues guitarist. Signed record contract in 69. Played at Woodstock, unfortunately manager thought they wouldn’t make any money so kept his set from movie. First guitarist on cover of Guitar Player magazine. 3 Grammys for producing Muddy Waters. One of the greatest live records with Rick Derringer as second guitarist. First white musician in Blues hall of Fame.
Thanks for reminding of me of another concert I've seen so I can add Rick Derringer to my list of live concerts I've attended in my life, so far. Up to 58 concerts since 1973. I've got lots and lots more to see before my time is up!
Others are David Lee Roth (solo, not with Van Halen) with "California Girls", Cyndi Lauper with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", David Bowie with "China Girl", Foreigner with "Waiting for a Girl Like You".
You should've seen them on this tour..my senior year of high school, my best friend & I, No Adult types, front row & hanging on to the baracade. It was definitely one of my best memories from the 80s & high school.
Another fun band to check out, is Steel Panther. They are an American comedic glam & hair metal band. They have shall we say rather interesting lyrics, not for young ears. During live shows, they pull up someone from the audience to play guitar or drums and perform a Van Halen cover.
This was the first tour where Tommy had the 360° rotating drum kit (but only "East to West" - Not forwards and backwards (that got added on the next tour.)-He still needed oxygen to play his solo (he had blood not delivering enough oxygen to his brain, mechanically - Never mind any drugs he might have been on!). I saw then with David Coverdale's l.a. version of Whitesnake [The one where he destroyed the band who recorded the album: John Sykes - guitars, voice; Aynsley Dunbar - drums; Neil Murray - bass, voice and replaced them with a "straight-out-of-l.a." band, which never played on that 1987 album, but was in the videos! (which was): Vivian Campbell - guitars [ex-Dio]; Tommy Aldridge - drums [ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Pat Travers Band, ex-Black Oak Arkansas (wherein he, effectively, invented every style & 'move' for '80s metal drumming (in the '70s!!!!🤘🤘)-)] Rudy Sarzo - bass [also formerly in Ozzy Osbourne's band, Randy Rhoads' old friend and, also, in the re-boot version of: Quiet Riot, from the '80s!] and Adrian Vandenberg - guitars [This Dutch shredder was the ONLY member of the band who had performed on the 1987, self-titled Whitesnake album. Adrian cut a single solo on that (for his friend, John Sykes!). Adrian had had U.S. radio success, with his OWN band [Vandenberg] in the early '80s. "Wait" and "Burning Heart" were hits and received tons of rock radio airplay. The first 2 studio albums were full of juicy melodic metal. "Your Love Is In Vain" is a 'go-to'!!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥 ...anyway: Vandenberg split after 3 albums and Adrian was, generally, doing studio work ...before David Coverdale moved his solo project: Whitesnake, to the U.S. & reconfigured them.]) Whitesnake opened. Crüe were the headliner. This album SUCKS ...but, as ever!: The Crüe knew how to put on a show. ...but: it was 1987 and ...labels had taken over. Cliff Burton had died. Thrash-Metal became a blip on the wider public's consciousness, because: Metallica (now, w/Jason Newsted) did the thing they said they would never do: release a video [the video for: "One"] and, the Damaged Justice tour (and the following segments in the summer and fall) brought in massive crowds. ...by 1990: Lars would take the band from: Thrash-Metal to radio rawk, with: "Enter Sandman" and bring in a new, less intent generation of 'tallicA fans. ...leading to the need for: Public Enemy, Living Colour, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains [THE metal act of the '90s!], Soundgarden and (of course), the massively punk-influenced Nirvana. (as well as N.W. compatriots such as the long-grinding: MELVINS (et al.!). ...This was the upsurge (upDIRGE) of what became known as "hair metal" and the dilution of everything that had started the 1980s & been cool! ...The last gasp. ...but: it led to good things, despite !! -and, yes: Tommy's rotating drum kit was a cool-ass showpiece and fun beyond measure!!🤘🤘🔥
It's pretty much the national anthem of Adult Gentleman's Clubs for the past 40+ years - I frequented the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale quite a few times back in the day
Amber, in my early 20's I worked at Tattletales in Atlanta....lol. There were 2 sister clubs too. Ponytails which was mostly 50's music and then Top's n Tails which was quite larger and top 40's. We actually had a swing on one of the stages. Long time ago....lol. That was in 1990
Man, I'll tell you what...the thing that makes Motley so good was the good good riffs. Mick Mars wasn't trying to be Eddie Van Halen... Micks in a class all by himself. 'You're all I need' is another really good one. Good Good riffs.
I was never a huge fan of the Crüe during this time but they would always come up with these catchy songs so I ended up listening to them. Shout At The Devil was my first. Good song. Has Amber listened to Jump by VH yet? If not then she should.
WOW had forgotten this one. In college in 1987 when this came out. It became kind of treasure hunt to go along the Gulf Coast from dive to the next to get things like T-shirt or beer mug some item to show u had been there. I remember the ones in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale Were really packed after this song came out. Great memories of all those hair band when I had hair .
Always stoked to see you guys react to a Crue song!!! If a big time rock band tried coming out with this song today I would almost bet that there'd be an uproar about it degrading women and whatnot. The 80's definitely fostered and boosted this kind of stuff. is it degrading? Maybeeeee. Does it ROCK? Hell yeah!!! And sometimes, that's all we really want. No politics, no message, no class. Haha!!!
The home video also had an unedited topless version of this video. And yes. Mic mars horribly underrated as a guitarist. Also I’m sure it’s still played in strip cubs to this day
MC knows how to appreciate the beauty of a real woman. The girls in the places they mention are top notch. They are beautiful, have almost flawless bodies, and entertain without being too raunchy. FYI - The girl Vince (the lead singer) carries out of the bar is Sharice. He married her and had a daughter with her back in the day. Unfortunately, that little beauty herself died at a young age of some type of cancer and they soon divorced. It is portrayed in their movie "The Dirt." Hope you guys get a chance to watch it before your next MC reaction so you can let us know...unless you already have and I haven't seen that part.
Once seen Vince Neil perform this song when he went solo and he was opening act for Jackyl and Tesla. He came out so drunk that that girls, girls,girls was the only part of any song he sang that night he could remember. A roadie sang all the rest. When Tesla came out after Jackyl, they were really giving Vince hell about it
Rob ! They called them 'music videos'. 'Video' as in 'visual'. Back then there was lots or flash and pyrotechnics in this type of rock performance. You miss half the show by closing your eyes so often for so long.
Tommy and the girls fight over the last can of hair spray. Love it. Never had hair that teased up, but did have a ponytail when I played in a band in college. Mick was Mick. Just doing his own good thing. The whole band had a vibe, but the music was usually very solid. I liked them. Still do.
IDK if anyone mentioned it yet, but the lore is that this shoot is where Pam and Tommy met. She's one of the girls around 5:44 when Tommy says, "Where, Vince, where?"
Oh man, I would’ve loved to have seen that. Tho honestly would’ve preferred a switch between them. Motley Crue as the opener and GNR as the headliner. I just always preferred GNR.
Right on, White Snake opened here in Phoenix, my first concert with my new roommates after graduating HS and moving to the desert to go to school. I was the first person in the apartment and a dude walks in, spots the Maiden poster and bong and says in the strongest Tennessean accent, "we're gonna get along just fine". A group of us went, it was cool because we were all from different states in a new place and liked the same music. Damn time flies..
Great band, great album, great title song from my High School days in 1987! Still waiting for both of you to react to Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads live 1981 "Mr. Crowley" "Suicide Solution" "I Don't Know" or "Crazy Train" as you have to watch Randy Rhoads play live and these are rare for me 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee who tragically died in a plane crash less than a year after the 1981 "After Hours" show on March 19, 1982. To learn more about Randy and his legacy, to include being the founder of Quiet Riot in the mid70s before they became famous following his death with Metal Health which Motley Crue 's Nikki Sixx once auditioned for before getting famous. Movie is called "Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon" and it is on Amazon Prime.
Before I clicked the reaction video I questioned whether it was the video or lyrics reaction 😂😂😂…. Another 80s band y’all need to dive into is Winger, maybe “Seventeen”, or “Headed For A Heartbreak” just to name a couple. 😎🤘
Oh the 80's. I lived it. I loved it. I survived it (I think). And yes, it WAS all that! The only thing I don't miss? The small fortune spent on Rave hairspray, curling irons and ripping up perfectly good, brand new t-shirts. What a TIME to be alive. I'd go back in a heartbeat. It was wonderful!
I was 15 years old when this video came out. This video was considered soft core porn back in 1987. I think MTV wasn't even allowed to run the music video until after 10PM EST at night--hahaha. I remember this video fondly.....
I was 12 years old. My parents wouldn’t let me by this tape. So my friends and I went to the public library. You could check out the record. Just 3 12 year olds sitting in the back of the young adult section with three sets of headphones hooked up to one record player. Rocking out as quietly as possible. The 80s rocked.
Thats awesome
What a great story, nothing beats you & friends havin a great time. I tell my son to enjoy his childhood cause 1 day your our age, lol. Thanks for sharing Tom and enjoy the day.
You poor guy my parents literally didnt even know where i was at that age. They were to busy working and let the world raise us. And yes the 80's were fun lolol
Took my kid to the motley Crue stadium tour in August at SoFi. He is 16. 6 1/2 hour show
Fun story! Your library had a better music section than mine 😃

Guitar solo is amazing. Mick Mars is super underrated!
The Crue were great but Mars was not special in any way
@@jamiefredrickson2560 I disagree.
I agree he was underrated as well. He’s not the greatest at all, but never got the credit he deserved.
Super underrated?? Whaaaaah 😜....dude, in the 80s and 90s Mars was considered to one of THE TOP 10 guitarists ever 👍in music back in those days. He was up there with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Santana, allll those greats....he's still a legend 👏 👍
Micks tone is unmistakable.🎸
This song was immortalized and would be played in heavy rotation in "gentlemen's clubs" for years to come...
Yep. I live in Fort Lauderdale and they played this song so many times at the Doll House when I was a young immature carefree adult. Every weekend they got a portion of my paycheck. 😂
Still do
@@onionhead5780 Ah, I'd love to go back and be that immature young carefree adult. I'm now retired and more or less carefree but hanging out in strip clubs is a non-starter now.
@@onionhead5780 I've been there as well back when I was 21 old on Vacation in South Fla.
@@briangulley6027 I still go from time to time as retired 56 yr old guy the wife don't care .

The dancers all had money, and the bands were all broke, so the girls provided them with food and often helped out with rent and other bills on top of it.
The bands were funded not by strippers, but by the generous but moronic middle-aged married men who thought they had a chance with the strippers.
True story! Similar story from GnR!!
This is a perfect example of a song made popular by MTv. Without the video, the song by itself is not somethng that would have made the radio.
@@redpine8665 Amen! Not a good song, but ohhhhh boy is it a good video ;)
@@alberth9418 I disagree. I think this is Motley Crue's best song.
Yep, Amber. You don't need a lyric breakdown to figure what this song is about. 🤣🤘🤘
🤣🤣
True, Chris . You don't need an interpreter to realize it's a tune like Cat Scratch Fever , that they really should do. I've been waiting on that one ,J & Amber. That's what Ted opened Cal Jam 78 with..
I guess it has something to do with girls. Not sure though.
glad I was a kid in this era...when fun was allowed
And when this kind of video was allowed.
The girls who dressed like this and danced in these old videos were called "video vixens."

Yesssss!! Video Vixens!
This is when dancers took pride in their art, they all would try to out dance each other, tricks and all the crazy pole work was fun to watch!
The uncensored version of this video is amazing. Thank You so much ladies. From the teenage me back then.
One of Mick Mars' finest moments. A killer riff and dirty solo.
have to check out "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)"
I had this album on cassette back in the day. One thing I always liked about this song is how Mick Mars makes the guitar sound like a motorcycle engine. It was so badass back then.

HOT FOR TEACHER by Van Halen is another one to check out if you haven't done so yet. Amber is such a trooper. Great reaction!
I think they may have but I have to go back and look.
It’s a great pick please check it out.
No unfortunately they haven't done that one yet, have been waiting and suggesting that one forever.
@@donnacorey5682 Then they MUST but only if the show the official video.
@@maryreilly5092 Absolutely! I pray they do the video, it's one of the greatest music videos EVER!

Amber also hasn't heard Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". A MUST!!!!
Maybe also a revisit of Painkiller now that she is getting more into the heavier stuff now.
Motley Crue Without You it's a very beautiful song
I saw you BOTH checking out this song, and immediately clicked. Great tune from a different time. Loved every minute of it. Peace!
Great... another reaction to another useless, redundant 80's hair band. Probably requested by subscribers to this channel that started listening to music AFTER 1980. I feel sorry for them.
I think he’s enjoying this a little too much!!🫣😂😂
No wonder he was willing to come back to this one to share it with Amber!!
AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long". You definitely need to check it out!!
"Home Sweet Home", "Without You", "Same Old Situation", and "Primal Scream", by Motley Crue
The fun and debauchery of the 80's was simply awesome,! Motley crue was carrying the flag into the party battle and wish I could back! Rock on !!!!!
This song was THE theme song at all topless clubs nationwide. It was played loud right at shift change so all girls from both shifts were all up on tables at one time.
OMG, Motley Crue was at the height of their debauchery when this album, came in 87: it was on this tour that bassist Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin, the paramedics pulled the sheet over his head, but then one of them made one last attempt to revive him with two cardiac needles of adrenaline into his heart!

They'd close down the Marble Arch mentioned in here, in Vancouver while in town recording
One of my favorite Motley Crue songs is "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away). I think you both will absolutely love it :)
"HOME SWEET HOME" their monster ballad, have y'all done that one?
Ever since the movie Hot tub Time machine, I have absolutely loved that song! I mean I've always liked it but that movie made Me Love It!
Hey Jay and amber, Hot tub Time machine, movie reaction request there you go! React to the song home sweet home first though!
Home sweet home is probably my favorite song by them! This comes in close at number two
Agree 100
Wildside is my #2!
My favourite is 10 Seconds to Love ❤️
Agreed
The subtlety of the message is what sells the song.😉
This was my first concert. I had just turned 14 and my brother bought tickets for me and my best friend (John) as a birthday present. Guns N' Roses opened for them. It was awesome.
Thee Dollhouse IV (yes, with two e’s; that’s not a typo) near (not actually in) Fort Lauderdale, the Tattletale Lounge in Atlanta, the Seventh Veil in Hollywood, Crazy Horse in Paris, the Body Shop in West Hollywood, the Marble Arch in Vancouver, and the Hollywood Tropicana in Los Angeles are or were (some are still open, others long closed) all real strip clubs where the band went. The Hollywood Tropicana is where Vince Neil met his later wife (now ex-wife) Sharise Ruddell, who was working there as a ring girl and mud wrestler.
I barely remember my times in the Marble Arch for obvious reasons. Sadly it's gone now but has been replaced by The Granville Strip. The sign from the front is hanging inside the club
Used to bounce at the Platinum Club in Anniston Al. This song played every night. Brings back memories
I hear ya brother. Same thing here in Vancouver at the infamous Marble Arch mentioned here and The No Five Orange
I remember in my late teens, and early 20's, this was the song every "Top Dancer" chose!!
I love this band !! They have always been themselves and know what rnr meant in 80s and today
Hearing this in my teens was like a revelation. It might not be the best song ever, but I love hearing it every time. :)
1986. The title cut. Excellent choice you two! It was also a great tour!🤟🤟 you two make my day.
Yes- finally- I too had noticed a little while back that Amber hadn’t seen this one. I was re-watching some older videos and was like 😲..especially with it being a massive, staple hit of theirs! 🔥🙂✨
The best version of this song was a British Band called Sailor in 1976.
Mötley Crüe were in their prime here. To see them live during this decade was a phenomenal experience. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Excellent choice! I knew Amber was gonna love it. 🤘
I was also fortunate to see them in 1986 it was a fantastic show.. Tommy Lee’s hydraulic drum solo was epic!!!
Dr. Feelgood for tour was awesome
Funny Story. I was up late on the night this film clip aired on MYV. My dad got up (he was in bed for work the next day) and came in the room while I was watching. He stayed until it finished, and commented as he left the room '' He's a good guitarist'' :D He said nothing about the tits :D
This album was when I first started getting into rock. I was hooked immediately. This was one of the first cassettes I ever bought!
Mick Marrs, the strings, and the sound, of the band, on 🎸🎸 🤘😝🤟!!! Tommy Lee, the thunder, on drums ⛈️💥 ⛈️!!! Nikki Sixx, the smashing, funk on bass!!! And Vince "F*cking Neil on Vocals!!!
All this and you get the perfect representation of the'80s Metal Sound!!!
Amber and Jordan, you make a good day better. You make a sad day a happier. You are my favorite UA-camrs. That's why I always say. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
Looks like you haven't done Motley Crue "Looks That Kill" yet, has a killer riff.
In my neighborhood in Cali, everyone got a pentagram motley crue Tattoo. We all loved motley. Their will never be a band like motley again. The 80s ruled!! Also, Amber really is so fun the way she rocks out and Rob's entusiasmo is so refreshing. THE ROB SQUAD FAMILY is fun too!!!
There's also a uncensored version of girls girls
Kick ass tune! Saw them a few times..great show!
I'm 59 and still love hair metal, I graduated high school in 1981. My first concert I ever went to was KISS in 1977 on Christmas day at what used to be the Summit here in Houston, where the Rockets used to play. I don't think there was a month that went by without going to a concert until 1989 when my son was born. Kids have a funny way of making you get your financial priorities in order quick!
Out of all the concerts I went to I will cherish the last on I went to, which was Motley Crue on their ending tour in 2017, I took my son, and my grandson. It was freakin' awsome. My grandson still talks about it to this day!
If you want to check out a modern version of hair metal, which I think is awesome, check out "Pop Evil, Boss' Daughter". Mick Mars, which is the guitarist in Motley Crue is featured in their video and had a creative hand in the sound for the song.
Really love your channel guys. you always dig up some old songs that I have not thought about in decades! keep 'em comming!
Much love and God bless!
Mike
Mick's guitar playing the end, is just amazing!!!
Next up ......... 'Same Ole Situation, Primal Scream, Don't Go Away (Just Go Away), Starry Eyes, Merry Go Round"!!!
Great reaction!! MC has so many fun songs! Love that Amber loves this one!!
I saw them in concert during the tour for this album and the drummer his drum set got lifted in the air and he played the drums upside down
You have to give Mick Mars credit where its due because his guitar playing is superb. So underrated 👍
At least y'all didn't choose the explicit version of the video. Several other reactors on UA-cam accidentally chose that version, and boy did they get an eyeful. Great song either way.
I saw this tour live in Tulsa, was close to the stage, it was loud and great. This was the one were Tommy played his drums at a 90-degree angle on the stage.
Jay my friend, not only Mötley Crüe, but none other than one Elvis Aaron Presley, did a song called "Girls! Girls! Girls!"
Check that one out. I think you'll dig it!
Growing up in the 80s, hair bands were my thing.
KIX-Don't Close your eyes is a great hair band song!
I suggested that as well a while back. Another singer who had incredible range and primal scream. **Fingers crossed they'll get to it someday!
These guys had a blast during the 80’s and they always never failed watching them live!! Tommy one of my fav drummers!!
This totally takes me back to my junior year in high school. September 16, 1987 Motley Crue played the second night of their Dallas, TX stop at Reunion Arena with Whitesnake opening the show, and that whole night was such a fun concert. At one point, the singer Vince Neil introduced Stephen Pearcy and Robin Crosby, the lead singer and co guitarist of RATT, on stage and they all played Rock n Roll by Led Zeppelin. As a 16 year old kid, I thought, this doesn’t get any better than this. I was also really impressed by MickMars’ guitar tone, the overall tone of his guitar was so ridiculously full, that there was really no need for a rhythm guitar player during a solo. And speaking as a guitarist myself, that’s typically unheard of.
Such great times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I love checking out your channel. Y’all have a great new year!
Amber & Jordan, Amber has not done Jump from Van Halen either. Jordan did it on his own. Come on Amber, check out Van Halen's Jump music video.
Recommend Johnny Winter. Texas lightning blues guitarist. Signed record contract in 69. Played at Woodstock, unfortunately manager thought they wouldn’t make any money so kept his set from movie. First guitarist on cover of Guitar Player magazine. 3 Grammys for producing Muddy Waters. One of the greatest live records with Rick Derringer as second guitarist. First white musician in Blues hall of Fame.
Thanks for reminding of me of another concert I've seen so I can add Rick Derringer to my list of live concerts I've attended in my life, so far. Up to 58 concerts since 1973. I've got lots and lots more to see before my time is up!
A beautiful love song by The Crue is " Without You " wonderful love ballad! Even Motley has a sensitive side lol
Peace from PA ✌️
Others are David Lee Roth (solo, not with Van Halen) with "California Girls", Cyndi Lauper with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", David Bowie with "China Girl", Foreigner with "Waiting for a Girl Like You".
You should've seen them on this tour..my senior year of high school, my best friend & I, No Adult types, front row & hanging on to the baracade. It was definitely one of my best memories from the 80s & high school.
Another fun band to check out, is Steel Panther. They are an American comedic glam & hair metal band. They have shall we say rather interesting lyrics, not for young ears. During live shows, they pull up someone from the audience to play guitar or drums and perform a Van Halen cover.
Was a big 70s concert-goer, but loved the Crue. Never got to see them in concert, something I deeply regret. The 80s were a fantastic time too.
Great reaction y'all! Motley Crue was one of the first "hair" bands I fell in love with!
This was the first tour where Tommy had the 360° rotating drum kit (but only "East to West" - Not forwards and backwards (that got added on the next tour.)-He still needed oxygen to play his solo (he had blood not delivering enough oxygen to his brain, mechanically - Never mind any drugs he might have been on!).
I saw then with David Coverdale's l.a. version of Whitesnake
[The one where he destroyed the band who recorded the album:
John Sykes - guitars, voice; Aynsley Dunbar - drums; Neil Murray - bass, voice
and replaced them with a "straight-out-of-l.a." band, which never played on that 1987 album, but was in the videos!
(which was):
Vivian Campbell - guitars [ex-Dio];
Tommy Aldridge - drums [ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Pat Travers Band, ex-Black Oak Arkansas (wherein he, effectively, invented every style & 'move' for '80s metal drumming (in the '70s!!!!🤘🤘)-)]
Rudy Sarzo - bass [also formerly in Ozzy Osbourne's band, Randy Rhoads' old friend and, also, in the re-boot version of: Quiet Riot, from the '80s!]
and
Adrian Vandenberg - guitars [This Dutch shredder was the ONLY member of the band who had performed on the 1987, self-titled Whitesnake album. Adrian cut a single solo on that (for his friend, John Sykes!).
Adrian had had U.S. radio success, with his OWN band [Vandenberg] in the early '80s.
"Wait" and "Burning Heart" were hits and received tons of rock radio airplay.
The first 2 studio albums were full of juicy melodic metal.
"Your Love Is In Vain" is a 'go-to'!!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
...anyway: Vandenberg split after 3 albums and Adrian was, generally, doing studio work
...before David Coverdale moved his solo project: Whitesnake, to the U.S. & reconfigured them.])
Whitesnake opened.
Crüe were the headliner.
This album SUCKS ...but, as ever!: The Crüe knew how to put on a show.
...but: it was 1987 and ...labels had taken over.
Cliff Burton had died.
Thrash-Metal became a blip on the wider public's consciousness, because: Metallica (now, w/Jason Newsted) did the thing they said they would never do: release a video [the video for: "One"] and, the Damaged Justice tour (and the following segments in the summer and fall) brought in massive crowds. ...by 1990: Lars would take the band from: Thrash-Metal to radio rawk, with: "Enter Sandman" and bring in a new, less intent generation of 'tallicA fans.
...leading to the need for:
Public Enemy, Living Colour, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains [THE metal act of the '90s!], Soundgarden and (of course), the massively punk-influenced Nirvana.
(as well as N.W. compatriots such as the long-grinding: MELVINS (et al.!).
...This was the upsurge (upDIRGE) of what became known as "hair metal" and the dilution of everything that had started the 1980s & been cool!
...The last gasp.
...but: it led to good things, despite !!
-and, yes: Tommy's rotating drum kit was a cool-ass showpiece and fun beyond measure!!🤘🤘🔥
"Without You" is a Motley Crue ballad that Amber would like. Check it out!
It's pretty much the national anthem of Adult Gentleman's Clubs for the past 40+ years - I frequented the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale quite a few times back in the day
Yep well I ended every night of work with this song lol and meet them because of that job
So you’re saying you were a librarian? 😂❤
The uncensored video is even better 😁
@inboxThe_Rob_Squad_Reactions I'm independently wealthy. You hit me up and I'll have something special for you.
I live right down the street from Tattle Tails 😂 everyone always brings this song up when visiting.
Amber, in my early 20's I worked at Tattletales in Atlanta....lol. There were 2 sister clubs too. Ponytails which was mostly 50's music and then Top's n Tails which was quite larger and top 40's. We actually had a swing on one of the stages. Long time ago....lol. That was in 1990
Man, I'll tell you what...the thing that makes Motley so good was the good good riffs. Mick Mars wasn't trying to be Eddie Van Halen...
Micks in a class all by himself.
'You're all I need' is another really good one. Good Good riffs.
The blonde that Vince Neil is seen carrying in his arms near the end of the video, later became his wife
I was never a huge fan of the Crüe during this time but they would always come up with these catchy songs so I ended up listening to them. Shout At The Devil was my first. Good song. Has Amber listened to Jump by VH yet? If not then she should.
WOW had forgotten this one. In college in 1987 when this came out. It became kind of treasure hunt to go along the Gulf Coast from dive to the next to get things like T-shirt or beer mug some item to show u had been there. I remember the ones in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale Were really packed after this song came out. Great memories of all those hair band when I had hair .
I Remember hearing this song at a young age while watching ‘Indian in the cupboard’ lol😂
Jay and Amber please listen to Don't do away mad. Great lyrics and video. Love the channel and great reaction.
Amber, if you want a Crue ballad, check out “Without You” or “Your all I need”. The second one is a bit dark though. It’s a murderous ballad. :p
Always stoked to see you guys react to a Crue song!!! If a big time rock band tried coming out with this song today I would almost bet that there'd be an uproar about it degrading women and whatnot. The 80's definitely fostered and boosted this kind of stuff. is it degrading? Maybeeeee. Does it ROCK? Hell yeah!!! And sometimes, that's all we really want. No politics, no message, no class. Haha!!!
The home video also had an unedited topless version of this video. And yes. Mic mars horribly underrated as a guitarist. Also I’m sure it’s still played in strip cubs to this day
MC knows how to appreciate the beauty of a real woman. The girls in the places they mention are top notch. They are beautiful, have almost flawless bodies, and entertain without being too raunchy. FYI - The girl Vince (the lead singer) carries out of the bar is Sharice. He married her and had a daughter with her back in the day. Unfortunately, that little beauty herself died at a young age of some type of cancer and they soon divorced. It is portrayed in their movie "The Dirt." Hope you guys get a chance to watch it before your next MC reaction so you can let us know...unless you already have and I haven't seen that part.
My brother took me to see them in Denver. My first concert ever. Great time
Once seen Vince Neil perform this song when he went solo and he was opening
act for Jackyl and Tesla. He came out so drunk that that girls, girls,girls was the only part of any song he sang that night he could remember. A roadie sang all the rest. When Tesla came out after Jackyl, they were really giving Vince hell about it
“How are they still alive?!”
Everyone.
Seriously, how?
Love their song Dr Feelgood ...play that sometime.
Rob ! They called them 'music videos'. 'Video' as in 'visual'. Back then there was lots or flash and pyrotechnics in this type of rock performance. You miss half the show by closing your eyes so often for so long.
Tommy and the girls fight over the last can of hair spray. Love it. Never had hair that teased up, but did have a ponytail when I played in a band in college. Mick was Mick. Just doing his own good thing. The whole band had a vibe, but the music was usually very solid. I liked them. Still do.
My favorite song of theirs, always loved the video
IDK if anyone mentioned it yet, but the lore is that this shoot is where Pam and Tommy met. She's one of the girls around 5:44 when Tommy says, "Where, Vince, where?"
Have you done the band The Warning? All female, sisters from Mexico! They ROCK! "Evolve" is a great song🎸🤘💕
I concur.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out.
I saw this tour in 87.... Motley Crue was the headliner and Guns N Roses was the opening act. Incredible show!!!
Sounds like a good time!
Oh man, I would’ve loved to have seen that. Tho honestly would’ve preferred a switch between them. Motley Crue as the opener and GNR as the headliner. I just always preferred GNR.
Right on, White Snake opened here in Phoenix, my first concert with my new roommates after graduating HS and moving to the desert to go to school. I was the first person in the apartment and a dude walks in, spots the Maiden poster and bong and says in the strongest Tennessean accent, "we're gonna get along just fine". A group of us went, it was cool because we were all from different states in a new place and liked the same music.
Damn time flies..
Great song, but you ought to check out motley crue Home Sweet Home. Completely different sound by a very loud and wild band.
I agree!!!
An absolute badass song! So good! The movie Hot tub Time machine made me appreciate it so much more
I was 21 when this song came out. Loved it then, love it now!!! I shouldn't but I do!!🤘🎸
Great band, great album, great title song from my High School days in 1987!
Still waiting for both of you to react to Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads live 1981 "Mr. Crowley" "Suicide Solution" "I Don't Know" or "Crazy Train" as you have to watch Randy Rhoads play live and these are rare for me 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee who tragically died in a plane crash less than a year after the 1981 "After Hours" show on March 19, 1982.
To learn more about Randy and his legacy, to include being the founder of Quiet Riot in the mid70s before they became famous following his death with Metal Health which Motley Crue 's Nikki Sixx once auditioned for before getting famous. Movie is called "Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon" and it is on Amazon Prime.
Before I clicked the reaction video I questioned whether it was the video or lyrics reaction 😂😂😂…. Another 80s band y’all need to dive into is Winger, maybe “Seventeen”, or “Headed For A Heartbreak” just to name a couple. 😎🤘
Motley Crue was the biggest band in the world when this came out. For a little while anyway. Great times they were! 🤙🏼
Oh the 80's. I lived it. I loved it. I survived it (I think). And yes, it WAS all that! The only thing I don't miss? The small fortune spent on Rave hairspray, curling irons and ripping up perfectly good, brand new t-shirts. What a TIME to be alive. I'd go back in a heartbeat. It was wonderful!
I was 15 years old when this video came out. This video was considered soft core porn back in 1987. I think MTV wasn't even allowed to run the music video until after 10PM EST at night--hahaha. I remember this video fondly.....
Wife here..OMG..This was on constant rotation in the 80's on MTV
Mötley Crüe - Girls, Girls, Girls Fastest click I did all day.
